Xidigow>> Do You KNow This Somali Star

Post by AbdiWahab252 »

Abdulle Nur Wasuuge, the only Somali to ever win a Gold medal at the ALL AFRICA GAMES in the High Jump. He won it in 1973 at the All Africa Games in Lagos.

Walle, the 1987 Somali basketball team was good at the All AFrica Games in Nairobi. The referees were bribed to favor Angola at the game which was very close.

I am sure if he won jumping, he must be from Baadiyo because geedaha ay kaboodaan.

Xidigow,

Allahu naxaristo Marxum ka. Was he on Dayniile.com ? He fell on some hard times after the war.

Yeah, I remember that game. 1987 represented the best showing for SOmalia.

INshallah, we can go back to those games.
